Equipment

Ingredients

Dough

3 cups Gluten-free flour
1 cup Almond flour
1 tsp Baking soda
1/4 tsp Salt
4 tbsp Gingerbread spice
3/4 cup Unsulphur molasses
1 tbsp Vanilla extract
1/4 cup Honey
2 Eggs at room temperature
10 oz Butter melted and cooled

Cashew icing

3 tbsp Butter melted and cooled
1 cup Milk of your choice
1/4 cup Swerve sweetener for a healthier choice of sugar

1 tbsp Vanilla extract

Instructions

Dough

Melt butter in a small saucepan on low heat.I
2. In a mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients: flours, baking soda, gingerbread spice, salt, and almond flour.
3. In a separate bowl, combine all the wet ingredients: cooled butter, eggs, vanilla extract, honey, and molasses.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until a soft, fragrant dough forms.
5. Do not overmix the dough. The dough should be on the softer side.
6. Do not chill the butter and roll it immediately. Gently roll the dough between parchment paper, cut out your favorite festive shapes, and bake until the edges just lightly brown for 12 minutes at 350°F.
7 Let them cool before decorating… if you can resist.

5. Use natural food coloring to get different Christmas colors.
